Ovie Ejaria's stunning goal for Liverpool U23s during last week's 2-1 win over Newcastle United came as no surprise to Neil Critchley and his coaching staff.
After combining beautifully with Liam Millar, the midfielder jinked his way past an away defender and rounding the goalkeeper, before slotting home the winner in the Premier League International Cup tie, as the young Reds came from a goal down to beat Peter Beardsley’s side.
Ejaria, who turns 20 on Saturday, made his first-team debut last season, and after helping England U20s win the World Cup alongside the likes of Dominic Solanke and Sheyi Ojo in the summer, is hoping to make a big impression once again this term.
